Endurance
The Club has close links with the local Endurance GB group. Several endurance rides, including of course the famous Golden Horseshoe, take place in West Somerset.
West Somerset Riding Club takes a more active interest in Endurance Riding this year.
WSRC is looking for at least 8 people interested in forming perhaps two teams, to compete in the local regional qualifier, the Phoenix Ride from Treborough Common on August 22nd. The distance will be approximately 20 miles or 34km. Individuals and juniors (12 years old or over) can also take part. For those successful at Treborough the final is to take place during the summer of 2011 at Cirencester Park
The Club really needs as many people interested as possible because reserves may be needed, depending on the horse situation, as well as people to support the competitors en route. If we cannot get a team fit enough for this competition in this area, then we are sadly lacking!
